  • 5 Star! Future Episode Idea??

    LOVE this podcast! This really helps me stay in tune with my passion of marine biology despite being a few hours from the ocean.

    Wondering if it would be possible to shed some light on sustainable, eco friendly ideas for people who want to travel/scuba/explore marine biology while doing so with a conservation cautious mind?

    I want to plan a few trips next year, but don’t want to be that ignorant tourist who says she loves marine biology but is harming it in the process of connecting with her... more

And just so the “scientists” on the show are aware- the Baltimore Aquarium’s proposed seaside sanctuary is no different than the other coastal sea pen style aquariums in the Florida Keys and Caribbean islands. Also, the Epcot Liv... more
